Vanity Metrics vs Real Progress

[Roast my Lessson]

So when we're trying to measure our success in our online business it's very easy to get lost on vanity metrics. We may chase numbers and get high on the dopamine of seeing those points go up, but after a while we realize that we're not really reaching the goals that will make us trully fulfilled.

But what are the metrics that really matter for you? Well it all depends on your goals.

Metrics can point out how many people are finding you, following you, paying you, engaging with you and keep coming back to your space among other stuff. And skool gives you this emoji badges for you to keep track on your progress.

For me, metrics matter because I want to build a professional portfolio and have this group as a success story.

But trying to optmize my results and focusing on that may shift my focus from what really matters to stuff that will only boost my ego. Like focusing on member growth instead of going afer quality members. Or forcing engagement with gif wars and forced follow up questions instead of having genuine high quality conversations.

I personally used to care about my discovery position, I got to around 250 on the money categoty at some point, but I soon realized this didn't matter unless I got the ⭐, that doen't exist anymore. And after the growth boost I just disabled my discovery and stopped caring about it as I count mostly on organic outreach.

I still care about member count, because it's a portifolio success story for future clients. BUT this is not something I'm super focused at, I'm just showing up and trying to build something cool that will be worth for other people and the numbers will eventually be just an accessory to my awesome offers.

What about you? What are the numbers that really matter for you?
